A North Carolina Teacher conducted an experiment with her students in her classroom to show the importance of hand washing, and how germs spread. This is genius. She took three pieces of bread, and three sandwich bags. In one, she put a piece of bread into the bag while wearing gloves. (Controlled). In another, she […]

I have been crossing my fingers since I heard about this bill proposal last year. Every parent dreads these two times of the year – daylight savings time. Please stop it. Stop it NOW. My oldest is 10 and I have struggled not just two days a year for 10 years, as it’s not for […]

“You’re so lucky that your boys like to read.” A mom at the playground whispered to me as big dude ran back to playground after coming over to tell us about this week’s library book that was tucked away in his backpack. I nod but I want to tell her that it’s not luck. My […]

I am by no means an experienced DIY mom, but I must say, I am impressed with how this project turned out. DIY projects are usually overwhelming just to think about, but […]

So I got a “Magic Match Scratch N Win” flyer in the mail today. I scratched it our of curiosity, and “won”. Upon looking into this further, I found out that all of the tickets are “winners” – so what’s up with it (no company could afford to give away this many prizes), and if […]

I get it. I totally understand. I want to touch it all the time. Walking down the street. Cuddled up on the couch. In the middle of playing a board game. I want to reach out and touch my son’s curly blonde hair. I understand the urge. I do. Those blonde curls explode around his […]
